Cultural Holidays

Cultural holidays are good for the soul! Immerse yourself in history and intrigue in Europe’s cultural hotspots. The continent’s most beautiful city is arguably Prague. The Czech Republic capital – conveniently situated close to Poland, Slovakia, Austria and Germany – is a maze of picturesque streets and ornate squares. Since 1992, the extensive historic centre has been included in the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites. The pyramids of Egypt, the fusion of East and West in Istanbul and the numerous historical sites of Israel… Cultural holidays, so much to do!

Holidays in Croatia and Austria are ideal locations for a cultural holiday. Unravel the treasures of Dubrovnik and discover a medieval fortress town restored to its full glory. The old town, which sits on a peninsula, has narrow winding streets, teeming with small shops and restaurants. Sample fresh fish from the old harbour, and the local speciality, risotto nero. An adventure-walking holiday in the Austrian Tyrol exemplifies the best of the Alps: snow-capped mountains tower over picturesque villages and beautiful meadows. Visit the historic city of Salzburg, Mozart’s birthplace, for museums and the Hohensalzburg fortress, the largest fortification in Europe. Vienna is the place for classical concerts and fine cuisine. Cultural holidays open a world of opportunities.

 

Holidays in Greece are the perfect place for a cultural holiday. Teeming with historical sites, and blessed with more than its fair share of fascinating locations, this is a country that embraces its past.

A short hop to one the hundreds of beautiful islands that dot the Aegean Sea – including Skiathos, Skopelos, Skyros and Alonissos – should be in any cultural holiday itinerary.
